A simple and dependable brownie recipe delivering a rich, fudgy exterior with a gooey center, perfect for any occasion and quick to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 ounces (113g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate together using a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, or melt gently in a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk in both granulated and brown sugars into the melted chocolate mixture while still warm but not hot.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread gently to create a smooth surface.
  8. Bake for 22-26 minutes. Check at 22 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. The edges will be set, and the center slightly soft.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Slice into squares using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry for clean edges.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain the gooey center. Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. High-quality bittersweet chocolate enhances flavor. Line pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Use a warm knife to slice brownies cleanly.
